For example, there's a easy way to write a scientific paper and that's using LibreOffice Writer (WYSIWYG) but this may not be optimal for productivity and there's also using LaTeX to compose the same scientific paper. The last one will require some time to get acquainted but will be much more effective, you can edit your document from a terminal screen, you can process the document thru command line, use *fgrep* for searching thru the source of all your papers, etc. On my opinion, I'd say this is not something complex, would be easy to implement and would be easy on maintenance. It will require planning regarding the group / user quota allowance and that's probably all to do more than what you actually have. There's some visual tool for quota management and also it is included as part of some configuration management tool too, example *webmin* Quota is the historic tool used on Linux system to prevent one user from using all the space on a hard drive. Here's a description of Quota from Digital Ocean (Server Hosting) : Quotas are used to limit the amount of disk space a user or group can use on a filesystem. Without such limits, a user could fill up the machine’s disk and cause problems for other users and services. Strange enough, there's no Wiki page for Debian regarding Quota in English, only a French page. But I've found some nice links for information. https://debian-handbook.info/browse/stable/sect.quotas.html The Debian Administrator's Handbook - 9.9 Quota https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/linux-quota-ubuntu-debian/ Linux Quota - installation and configuration on Ubuntu and Debian > -- > Ciao > leandro > -- Polyna-Maude R.-Summerside -Be smart, Be wise, Support opensource development
